Roadsigns in France

If you’re not used to driving in France or don’t have much experience then getting used to the roads and the roadsigns can be a bit of a challenge, especially whilst driving in busy city areas. Gaining knowledge of French road signs will help to lighten the load a little.

Although many road signs are universally recognised throughout Europe, the French have certain unique road signs. Certain road signs may only have French text so it’s beneficial to understand the basics.

The best site we’ve found for checking French road signs is here on the Driving Test Tips website.

This website provides you with a handy visual guide to French road signs and an option to download a PDF to take with you on your holiday.
